Pros

Well known brand with solid benefits.

Cons

I have never worked at a more toxic company than DoorDash, specifically DoorDash for Business. In smaller group settings, there's a ton of gossip and mean spirited discussion. The culture behind close doors is very toxic. I've never been in a company where everyone works in silos and gossips about each (including management). People will not hesitate to throw someone under the bus and do so directly to leadership. l've seen small inconsequential mistakes become huge talking points against individuals and travel through different departments. Rare that someone will stick up for a colleague when this happens but instead will use the moment to cover their own mistake. Managers don't seem to understand how to guide and empower employees - yet will micromanage. There's a lot of "I don't know what your should be doing but you need to do it right now" from managers. Then a lot of "why did you do that?!" in response. Leads to cross functional budget and planning disasters. And again, leads to people throwing others under the bus. Systems don’t work and nobody knows what they’re doing.

Pros

You make tips and get to shop at a lot of stores. More areas are open for delivery. You don't go far and have specific zones, like cities, you stay in usually. They give you a special tier of being a Dasher when you're doing the best deliveries, they're called tiers from silver to gold to platinum. Platinum gives you the dash now button allowing you to dash whenever.

Cons

Sometimes the delivery will get marked as if you didn't deliver the item and it gets put on you. There's sometimes drastic waits between orders. The restaurant may be closed or out of the thing the customer ordered. You can't decline order or else the acceptance rating goes down and you'll lose the certain requirements to be a higher tier driver.
